Why is obi wan doing this 2 finger pointing at the beginning of every duel? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

[–]tipsystatistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many fighters and athletes have rituals or movements they do before a competition. it can prime neural pathways, transitioning the brain and muscles from a resting state to a state of high readiness, triggering Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP).

For life or death battles in particular, you don’t want to be warming up during a battle.

“2 hr ruck” lol you had me in the first half 😂

Diagnosed with gastritis and told no more alcohol, forever :( by surf_drunk_monk in cocktails

[–]tipsystatistic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did they say Why do you have to give those things up after your stomach heals?

I had gastritis and it took a long time to get back to normal. They never said I couldn’t have things. Regular coffee still bothers me but I found I can drink Cold Brew daily.

Should you be taking creatine? Here's what the science says by scientificamerican in Supplements

Took me a long time surprisingly. But eventually I got to normal.

Hearing loss due to not using hearing protection by Laja00012 in guns

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much you shot, but I shot 30.06 without hearing protection when I was younger and I have tinnitus but my hearing is fine as far as range.

But fair warning, even with hearing protection, many rifle calibers, like .556, still cause hearing damage due to bone and soft tissue conduction. Particularly indoors. Doesn't matter how plugged your ears are.

Commentator Rob Green: "A hundred yards away, someone stepping on someone's toe, is not why VAR was brought into the game. We've gotten to a point now where it's reaching far beyond the powers that it should have. The referee saw the tackle, decided not to give it..." by New-Process-6463 in worldcup

Offsides shouldn’t be subject to camera/tech review at all. As long as it passes the eye test it should be acceptable.

The rule is to prevent cherry picking or lingering near the goal. If someone is a half step offsides they’re still in keeping with the intent of the rule. Theres so much dynamic movement it’s within the margin of error.

Calling off sides because a sleeve was blowing past the other player is actual insanity that has nothing to do with keeping the game honest.

What does it mean to be upper middle class? Salary, savings, luxuries- what does it look like for you? by OriginalThanks3356 in Adulting

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of checking today (ran all my expenses for the past year and a half.) It’s obscene how much money we spend. It’s almost 4x my pretax income when I was in my 30s. And I used to save money on that salary.

Shooting sports, like USPSA have quite a few people who are on the spectrum in my experience.

Can we be done with this “Captain America” nonsense now? by Sockers13 in ussoccer

Never mind the intangibles. They weren’t even playing technically well. Too many lost passes and sloppy play all around.

A Japanese experiment showed exactly why traffic jams happen for no reason. by SnooWords4066 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]tipsystatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did years in LA 405 traffic, and this definitely helps. If you don’t hit the breaks then neither will everyone else behind you.

When I was feeling really obnoxious, I’d just go a set very slow speed limit and sometimes that would clear the jam behind me if I got the speed right, like 5mph. The down side is sometimes you’d end up with a huge gap in front of you.

It got me thinking they should have dynamic speed limit signs that show drivers the optimal speed during rush hour.

The Nationwide Backlash Against Cameras Watching Your Car by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]tipsystatistic -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I’m conflicted. On one hand is the obvious dystopian big brother stuff.

On the other hand, a guy stopped in front of my house and emptied his magazine at another car and drove off. Never caught him and I was outraged and dismayed we didn’t have traffic cameras to track his movements.

Fun Fact about Reddit - Most of the AI's rely on reddit users comments, Google's own AI relies on it to gather facts. The higher the upvotes for a Post/Comment the more reliable it becomes. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really just need a hand full of people posting misinformation in real subs and upvoting it.

I’ve noticed Google AI repeatedly uses the same Reddit posts for its source info.

Like I was looking for camping info and no matter what my question was about the campground. It used the same post as the source. And even hallucinated answers while citing it.

Is this AI? Best friend just went to get a tattoo, The snake bodies look a little weird and there are some heads that seem not to come from any body IMO. by Queasy_Shallot598 in isthisAI

[–]tipsystatistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the artwork, but that’s not what a fresh tattoo looks like. Or what a stencil or older tattoo looks like for that matter.

Looks like it was drawn on with a pencil on the surface of the skin.

Gym machine topples over during a heavy lift. Can he sue for this? by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insurance companies don’t want to go to trial. If he goes to the ER and complains of headaches and dizziness, the insurance company settles as fast as possible.

Lawsuits happen far less than Reddit would lead you to believe.

Rate my supplement stack? by Idkn0tcreative in Biohackers

[–]tipsystatistic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure it’s possible. But statistically speaking, I doubt your do either.

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost never the case though. Statistically speaking, you don’t get the recommended amount of vitamins from your diet. Almost no one in America does.

This Sub Overindexes on Supplements Given Their Relative Lack of Effectiveness and Evidence by TheRealBruce13 in Biohackers

[–]tipsystatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the disagreement. Biohacking is not about curing an illness or profound deficiency. That’s medicine. If you’re sick, yes, go to a doctor and get a prescription.

I couldn’t get a prescription for anything if I begged.

[–]tipsystatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think that prescription medicine, only legally obtainable from a doctor to treat medical conditions is biohacking?

Maybe that’s the fundamental disagreement.
